This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting Advantech WebAccess version 8.1. The module is designed to log in to the WebAccess application using provided credentials (any user level) and then enumerate all users, extracting their passwords by making HTTP requests to specific endpoints. The exploit leverages authenticated access to gather all credentials from the system, making it a post-authentication credential harvesting tool. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, utilizing the HttpClient mixin for network communication. The main exploit file is 'modules/auxiliary/gather/advantech_webaccess_creds.rb', and it interacts with the following endpoints: '/broadweb/user/signin.asp' for login, '/broadWeb/user/AdminPg.asp' to list users, and '/broadWeb/user/upAdminPg.asp' to extract individual user credentials. The exploit targets CVE-2016-5810 and is only applicable to version 8.1 of Advantech WebAccess (not 8.2).
